Youth & Young Adult Ministry Mission Statement

By grace we are created, called and chosen for God’s Kingdom. With Jesus as head of our church and at the core of our ministry, our mission is to: “Enable youth to hear the good News about Jesus Christ in and environment that fosters spiritual growth, explores truth, expresses faith, experiences god and embraces community, so they develop holistically, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, physically and socially (Luke 2:52) to know Christ as their Savior.”

Catholic Heart work Camp (CHWC): a social justice based mission trop where we help those who are in need but cannot physically to the work themselves.

National Catholic Youth conference (NCYC): a 2-3 day national Catholic gathering and a deepening of the Catholic faith.

Financial Support

There is a need for fundraising to help cover some of the costs for some of these activities and events. Over the past couple of years we have been able to raise funds through different activities.
